I am trying to make a disaster recovery plan using ntbackup in case my hard
drive died. I have scheduled a full backup and differential backups to a tape
drive. These seem to work. I then ran the ASR and created a floppy disk and a
tape. My next step was to borrow a replacement hard drive and test my plan. I
used my XP cd the floppy drive and the tape and all seemed ok untill 2hr 30
minutes later when the tape stopped loading and I rebooted I received the
dreaded ntldr missing mesage. I used recovery console and accessed the hard
drive ntldr was there? I tried another hard disk as I thought it may be
faulty but the same thing happened. I installed xp from my cd then restored
the last full backup but this also rendered my disk unbootable. Has anyone
had any success with ASR or Full restores?
